I use a carry-out Slimline 3 SWM antenna on a tripod (from Solid Signal). I use a cell phone app to position the antenna and my Satlooklite meter for fine alignment. It takes about 5 minutes set-up and align the antenna. The meter's batteries power the LNB, so no need for a coax or receiver set during setup. Once the antenna is tied down, I run the coax to the coach and power up the HS-17 (genie 2). I carry four 50 ft links of RG-6 coax so I can park under the trees and still have a clear shot for the antenna. Total cost including the meter is about $300. I been doing it that way since 1999 and with 3 different coaches.
